Art 3/Rogue 17 Build

[Haphazarduk]

Anyone actually have any experience in applying one of these? I'm thinking of trying for a pure Int based build using Insightful Strikes and Rogue Mechanic in the early levels then possibly switching to Assassin later on.

I don't care about the build being on par with the best DPS/other Rogue builds out there but would like to know if it's worth investing some time in if anyone else has, even only the early levels...

Cheers

If you are planning on using repeaters, I would go 6 arty so you can use the 'machine gun' benefit. It's something I have thought about doing since Arties were introduced.

Try Art13/Rog7

Mine is currently Level 11 (Rog7/Art4). I love it. It's going to have Level 5 Arty spells (silver weapons), good sneak attack, rog mech, Battle Engineer. Great trapper and the best repeating xbow damage I can muster.

I suppose I had thought that I'd max out Sneak attack as much as possible and go for assassin II at lvl 12 Rogue but not sure which is more beneficial; the Rogue levels or Arti levels. I wanted to make most use of maxing Intelligence but again I guess that could be either route. Perhaps Arti 6/Rogue 14 is a good combo?

I was also going to ask about race. Warforged seems like a good plan for early self-healing but perhaps the extra feat from human or enhancements from Halfling are more useful in the long run.
